- Abstract
In recent years, the abundance of edible mushrooms in the KKL-JNF forests is decreasing, along with an increase in the number of edible mushroom foragers and afcionados. The major reasons behind the mushroom decline are generally assumed to be climate changes and excessive foraging. A number of methods were developed for inoculating tree seedlings with different mycorrhizal mushrooms. This symbiotic interaction contributes to the survival of the young trees, while at the same time enriching the forest with highly desirable mushrooms. The main goals of the current study were the establishment of practices for optimal inoculation of forest trees seedlings with edible mycorrhizal mushrooms, while developing suitable agro-technical procedures to facilitate the survival of newly planted trees and promote mushroom fructifcation. The mushrooms and trees serving as models for this project were: (1) Suillus collinitus – ectomycorrhizal with endemic and acclimatized pine trees – that primarily forms mycorrhizal bonds with Pinus halepensis, and can also form mycorrhizal bonds with P. brutia, P. pinea, and P. canarensis; (2) Lactarius deliciosus, which establishes mycorrhizal interactions with coniferous trees and notably with pine trees such as P. halepensis, P. brutia, and P. pinea. In the current study, tree seedlings were inoculated with the two mushrooms species in order to determine their effect on subsequent seedling development and survival. We found that inoculation of P. halepensis, P. brutia and P. pinea with S. collinitus elevated seedling growth rate in the greenhouse, with the highest contribution found in the development of P. halepensis (180%). Inoculation with L. deliciosus led to similar (albeit more moderate) results.
